Notice to Subscribers
The effect of the rise in the price
of paper and of labor difficulties in
the printing business has made ne-
cessary an increase in the rates of
the News. The mailing price will be
$3.00 and campus subscriptions $2.00.



It is with great regret that the News
board has accepted the resignation of
Catherine Dimeling, '21. Miss Dimeling,
who has been on the News since last
November, will be married this month.



PRESIDENT THOMAS

President Thomas occupies a position
at the helin of Bryn Mawr that the most
capable substitute can hardly fill. She
not only controls efficiently all the ma-
chinery of the ship, but understands
thoroughly the needs of her crew. Her
knowledge of the course the boat must
steer and her clear vision of the port
towards which it heads make her an in-
valuable captain, one whom the whole
ship welcomes back to guide it over the
deeps and shoals of 1920-21.



The C. A. Handbook

Baedeker is no longer alone in his glory
as guide to the traveler in foreign lands.
The committee that issued this year’s
C. A. Handbook has justly won the grati-
tude of Freshmen on their first journey
to Bryn Mawr. The all-inclusive booklet
is well arranged and interesting; it is an
addition to the library of any under-
graduate.

the office, library and reception rooms,
and upstairs are a sunny kindergarten
room and club rooms for girls and boys.

out a single breakdown. We then’ crossed
to North Africa on October 22, 1919, and

chauffeur and car about fifteen ‘hundred
miles also without accident. I spent three
weeks in Paris, including Christmas and
New Year, where Alys Russell and I were
joined by my cousin Ray Costelloe
Strachey (graduate student ‘08-’09). I
then went to Monte Carlo for three weeks
with my maid, who staid with me for the
rest of my trip, whom I had taught to
write letters on my little traveling Corona
typewriter, and was joined there later by
Ray Strachey.

Sails for Alexandria

After spending a few days in Genoa,
Milan and Venice, I sailed from Trieste
for Alexandria on February 11th with my
first cousin, Logan Pearsall Smith, who has
lived in England for the past thirty years,
during which he has become a distin-
guished man of letters. “Trivia” is per-
-haps the best known of his books. We
visited Egypt, Palestine and Syria together
and returned to Italy on April 18th, where
Professor Georgiana King (Bryn Mawr
06) met me. After visiting Pompeii again,
where by special permission we saw the
new excavations of entire streets of two-
story houses with signs and advertisements,
and the Greek temples of Paestum, we
sailed from Naples to Athens. We were in
Greece forty-five days and motored
through—_the—Pelopennesus— seeing almost
every site, temple and Bysantine church
with which we had associations. We made
an excursion to Crete on a tramp steamer
to see the Minoan excavations.
| On June 11th we returned to Genoa,
where we met Professor Lucy Donnelly
(Bryn Mawr '93) and my chauffeur with
| my Franklin car. Professor King sailed
| for Barcelona to rejoin her friends in
| Spain, where she spent last year, and Pro-

fessor Donnelly and I motored along the
Italian and French riviera from Genoa to

Marseilles through Provence, visiting all
| the mediaeval towns and Roman remains
| to Mont Dore and thence through the
| cathedral cities of Bourges, Beauvais and



Chartres to Paris and from Paris over
Amiens to. Boulogne, Folkeston and
London (ahout three thousand miles),

where I met my brother and his wife, Dr.
/and Mrs. Herry Thomas, and after another
ten days in London motored with them
forty-five days in England and Scotland
before sailing for Bryn Mawr on Septem-
ber 11th. I drove my car myself a great
part of these forty-five hundred miles. We
did not have a single tire puncture in all
this distance. I motored altogether about
eleven thousand miles in six different coun-
tries without any accident. I gave up going
to India because I found that I cared more
to spend my first long holiday on the
shores of the Mediterranean trying to un-
derstand the prehistoric, Greek, Roman and
Arabian and mediaeval civilizations that
succeeded each other there.

My trip was successful in every way.
The weather was perfect, cool and clear
without any rain. I had my motor top up
only about forty-eight hours in all during
the entire fourteen months. My traveling
companions, except my cousin, Mr. Pearsall
Smith, where all Bryn Mawr women, and I
found them such indefatigable and dis-
criminating sight-seers and such charming
and sympathetic traveling companions that
another of the many unexpected and alto-
gether delightful by-products of a Bryn
Mawr education is to produce perfect trav-
eling companions.
